IRVINE, California, January 8, 2019 – Executive search firm McDermott & Bull has placed Neville Kadimi as the new Vice President of Finance and Accounting for Diamond Wipes International in Chino, CA. The successful placement comes after a Southern California wide search was conducted for an accounting and finance leader with extensive third-party logistics (“3PL”) experience.
The executive search was conducted by Managing Partner, Chris Bull; Sara Pizarro, Executive Recruiter; and Steve Curran, Recruiting Associate at McDermott & Bull. According to the search team’s lead, Chris Bull, “Neville has an engaging personality and has an impressive skill set as a finance and accounting leader. We are confident in the contribution he will make at Diamond Wipes and its Private Equity sponsor, Nolan Capital.”
As the head of accounting and finance, Kadimi will report directly to the president and will play an integral role in the day-to-day operations, strategy planning, forecasting, and budgeting for Diamond Wipes. He will also be responsible for overseeing all cost accounting for the organization’s facilities in California and Ohio. His outstanding finance background coupled with his deep experience in manufacturing, logistics, and 3PL made him the ideal choice to oversee the organization’s finance and accounting activities.
Prior to joining Diamond Wipes, Kadimi held senior finance positions at Port Logistics Group, Gibraltar Industries, and Packaging Plus. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Finance & Accounting from San Diego State University and his Master of Business Administration in Project Management from Keller Graduate School of Management.
